In this episode, I sit down with Todd Elliott - creator of FILO which stands for First in, Last Out. Todd has a heart for the technical artists in churches and tech directors alike. He's created resources, a great podcast and a conference for folks who serve the church in this way.

Anyone in worship ministry needs to see the value that technical artists bring to the ministry and know how to push them as well as care for them.

Transitions in Worship

Underscoring and the Art of Transitions

https://churchfront.com/apply

In today's episode, Jake and I sit down and chat about arguably one of the most important elements of your worship service.

It's not announcements.

It's not the sermon.

It's not giving.

That's right - it's transitions but you already knew that based on the title of this episode.

Take a listen in on some of our best practices, tips, strategies, and mindset shifts needed when considering transitions!

In this episode we share with you a coaching call from one of our students in our worship leader school program.

Sometimes you step into a role where someone else has served and have to lay new groundwork. Sometimes there is a direction or leadership you don't agree with, or maybe there's no direction or leadership at all and you have to step in and cast new vision, set new standards, establish new expectations and rhythms.

That's exactly what our student brought to us coaches in worship leader school and we thought others could benefit from us bouncing ideas off of one another and coaching him through it.
